Anyone who has ever seen a two-year-old
start bouncing to a beat knows that music speaks to us on a very deep
level. But it took celebrated teacher and music visionary Don Campbell
to show us just how deep, with his landmark book The Mozart Effect.

Stimulating, authoritative, and often lyrical, The Mozart Effect
has a simple but life-changing message: music is medicine for the body,
the mind, and the soul. Campbell shows how modern science has begun to
confirm this ancient wisdom, finding evidence that listening to certain
types of music can improve the quality of life in almost every respect.
Here are dramatic accounts of how music is used to deal with everything
from anxiety to cancer, high blood pressure, chronic pain, dyslexia, and
even mental illness.

Always clear and compelling,
Campbell recommends more than two dozen specific, easy-to-follow
exercises to raise your spatial IQ, "sound away" pain, boost creativity,
and make the spirit sing!ABOUT THE AUTHOR

A Texas native, Don Campbell
studied with Nadia Boulanger at the Fontainebleau Conservatory of Music
in France and has worked with Jean Houston, Leonard Bernstein and other
musicians, healers and mind/body researchers.

Over the years, his
quest to harness the healing and creative powers of sound and music has
taken him to 40 countries, including Haiti, Russia, Israel, Greece,
Tibet, Indonesia and Thailand, where he has studied indigenous culture,
taught and worked with children and young adults, and given his own
performances. He has taught and performed in most of the capitals of
Europe and lived in Japan for several years, serving as music critic for
a Tokyo newspaper.

He founded the Institute of Music, Health and
Education in 1988, and is known to the public through frequent
television and radio appearances and international lecture tours. He
lives in Boulder, Colorado.

Beautiful, informative ABSOLUTELY EXCELLENT book!, …..I use the information that I learned in this book every single day. This changed the way that I live my life

WELL DOCUMENTED The "recommended reading" section is seven pages long and lists several
dozen books written by academics, scientists, medical doctors and
therapists. The "resources" section is eleven pages long and lists
active training and music therapy centers in Europe, Asia and North and
South America. The "footnotes" section is twenty-two pages long. This is
an entertaining and well written overview of the field of music
therapy and would benefit any person interested in expanding human
potential. I've been involved in music for twenty-four years including
record and concert production and hosting a daily radio program. I've
had the opportunity to come in direct contact with some of the world's
greatest musicians and I feel certain most of them would find this book
fascinating. I certainly did. I also received scientific training as an
undergraduate at an Ivy League university (neuroscience at Princeton)
and did not find this book deficient in any way.

Inspiring Book - Excellent source of inspiration and science of music…. I have
recommended this book to all - Here's a well written and inspired book that is honest in regard to the
whole spectrum of music's power. Campbell is not afraid of inspiration,
spirituality, research or the power of the spoken word. Most books on
music take only one view. He has the courage to tell the world how
music is experienced and perceived by many people. Perhaps the
researchers could learn a few things from Campbell.......that not all
people hear and process music in the same way. This book cuts new
ground for the arts. Maybe researchers will regard subjective
experience as a valid human perception. BRAVO for making me think,
feel and listen to music in a more focused way.

LIFE CHANGING ...This book has been life changing in healing my Mother's brain injuries
after a trauma in an accident with a tractor trailer. Having read the
book, I took his music for healing to her hospital ICU and instructed
the nurses to keep the music on at all times. I literally watched her
come out of a coma, first tapping her toes to the music, then her
fingers, then humming. In the unsettling sounds of a hospital, this
gave her calm and focused on the area of healing where she needed it
most. Personally, anytime I want to be focused, I also use Don
Campbell's music. It works!

AMAZON REVIEW
... With a subtitle of Tapping the Power of Music to Heal the Body, Strengthen the Mind, and Unlock the Creative Spirit,
the casual reader might jokingly ask if the book could also improve
chances for world peace, bring free and open elections to third world
countries, and give your wash whiter whites and brighter brights. Don
Campbell's premise is, however, reasonably straightforward: he asserts
that the kind of noise to which one is exposed can have important
effects on mental and bodily health. As a trial, try protecting your
hearing for a few days from the continuous barrage of noise in a typical
urban environment; it really does seem to improve one's attitude and
fatigue levels.

Where Campbell's ideas become more provocative is in
the realm of music. Supported by much anecdotal evidence, he proposes
that Classical music with a big "C" (the music of Mozart's period) can
reach out to those who are mentally isolated from their fellows, like
the autistic, and can help infants react and think better. (Will
prenatal music classes be the next big trend for yuppie babies?) In
addition, the music of Mozart contributes to the improved functioning of
the higher cerebellar functions, including the ability to deal with
logical and mathematical concepts, while contemporary rock actually
decreases mental acuity.

Review

"Don Campbell is the dean of sound
healers. His work is of inestimable value. Practical, mystical and
visionary, he makes the world of music accessible, friendly, and
profoundly healing." - Julia Cameron, author of "The Artist's Way

"For
several years now Don Campbell has been releasing a secret known for
ages: Music is not just entertainment. It is the medicine for body and
soul. Intelligent, informed and practical, Don is an excellent guide to
the wide-ranging power of music to inspire, educate, and heal." - Thomas Moore, author of "Care of the Soul and "The Re-Enchantment of Everyday Life

"Don
Campbell has written a fascinating and informative book--a tuning fork
for our times. Listening to good music, rather than hearing only the
cacophony of noises rattling through our modern world, can bolster the
body's responses, mend the mind and restore harmony to the soul." - Clarissa Pinkola Est?s, Ph.D, author of "Women Who Run With the Wolves and "The Gift of Story

Excellent Introduction to the Healing Power of Music …. This
book is an excellent one for beginners. When I was led to The Mozart Effect in an out of town bookstore, I was
interested to learn more about the topic. I found Campbell's writing
style easy to follow and the many individual stories instructive. The
book provides just the right blend of science and human reality to bring
the topic to life for me. I'm sure that it will for other readers.
There has been more Mozart playing in our home since reading the book!

Unique restoration of the connection between music and life…. For me, the Mozart Effect is a seminal work of great importance.
Campbell uses his singular life experience and early exposure to some of
the great musical minds of the 20th century to breach the void that
exists so commonly between the creators of great music and the audience
of listeners for whom music is simply joy. The power of music is a
magical, mystical and ultimately very mysterious phenomenon. In the
20th century music has been removed from its primal roots. Separated
from the vital level of humanity, much of music's power has been lost.
The blessing of Campbell's book is that it is the first modern
(non-academic) volume to re-examine the fundamental connections between
our bodies and the inexplicable, compelling and universal phenomenon of
music. Much will come from The Mozart Effect. Many will find a new
path to old truths.

GREAT book! BRAVO FROM A PIANO TEACHER IN NYC …. After 35 years of teaching piano, there is finally a book that empowers
MUSIC. I've used imagery and a variety of styles of music to lead my
students to quality classical music. This book has included the powers
of music beyond our traditional uses: for performance, entertainment.
Mr. Campbell uses the mind, the body and the heart as part of the great
world of music. I wish every music teacher would read this book.

Marvellous Reading!
